It’s barely open, but I’ve made two trips to the show already. Produced by the tireless Ed Bartlett of The Future Tense in collaboration with Opera Gallery who represent France’s highest profile, contemporary art photographer Gerard Rancinan.

The show opens with a bang and doesn’t let up until you get into the final gallery space. The images are large, glossy and absorbing - more so with the accompanying notes beside each one which help the viewer to understand Rancinan’s vision and take on the modern world.

The exhibition is the final act which will complete the series - click here to see the making of the other pieces. Back to this show - and the final gallery, in which is installed a set, lights and camera. I’m not sure visitors get this, but this is the setting for the final piece that will be photographed by Rancinan and his team next Tuesday, 12th June. What makes this special is that the participants in the piece will be drawn from a public casting - an amazing opportunity to be involved in a composition that could be worth £100,000 today - and more in the future. The piece below sold recently at Phillips De Pury auction for £97,250 - a world record for the artist and a living French photographer (see it in the gallery until the 24th June close).

It’s an intriguing proposition: lots of contemporary art locks you out, with this you get to become a part of it. Details of how to be a part in the casting here.
